For this voki, I might recite "Caedmon's Hymn" for the students to use for practice, I might post encouraging messages for my students, I might post short explanations of how to do assignments, or I might remind students of deadlines.
The following unit structure is from my final project for the LearnNC adolescent literacy class I completed in June. I decided to take my final project for that class and incorporate the tools I learned at the Friday Institute so that my unit plan reflects my learning in both classes.
Content Knowledge (What this particular text has to teach)
Text Structure (Aspects of the external and/or internal text structure that might require explanation)
Vocabulary or Conceptual Knowledge (Specific vocabulary or related concepts may need teaching)
Assignments/Comprehension Strategies (Strategies for building motivation as well as cognitive comprehension strategies that will address what you have identified in the previous columns.)
Work: Beowulf § Old English epic poem § Epic hero § Reflection of values of the time § Transition from Paganism to Christianity § Quest archetype
§ organized by battles (Grendel, Grendel’s mother, the dragon) § Alliteration § Caesura § Performance piece
§ $2 summary of background info § Learn how to “read” & speak Old English by memorizing “Caedmon’s Hymn” & practicing it daily (students LOVE doing this!)
-learn Old English!!!
-view "Caedmon's Hymn"
-listen to "Caedmon's Hymn" & other Old English works § Literary terms: review, introduce, identify, create Moodle glossary § Activate schema by asking what it means to be a hero (have students submit their ideas to a discussion board and create a wordle to show common ideas), who is their hero, have you ever been heroic, do heroes ever have to make sacrifices?
Wordle: hero

-watch a performance of the opening lines of Beowulf below
§ Self-assess vocab knowledge; use in conversation & explications; use in essays, test, project § Categorize vocab based on connotation scale (neg, neutral, pos) & generate words for the other categories. For example, one of our words is gorge. Which connotation category would that go into? What would mean the same thing by in a neutral way? Is there a positive connotation? § Re-categorize words based on hero/coward § Think Aloud § Literary terms glogs § QARs § Teach & practice explications with Cornell Notes explication sheet § Practice quest archetype with Shrek & apply to Beowulf; journal entry with Penzu.com: Apply the quest to your favorite character from a movie, novel, or history. https://penzu.com/p/3aca6fdc § Mini-graphic novel for visual
(This is more for me than for the students at this point.)
